Difference (from prior major revision) (author diff)

Changed: 13c13,15
The three judges of the underworld (Hades) are Minos, Aiakos and Radamanthys. I can not recall any connection (i.e. they were not relatives) between each other. They were honoured this way because of their great sense of justice. Another aspect suggests they were not real judges: They just assisted the soul to judge itself by its deeds (makes better sense considering the ideas of old greek religion).
